"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez

Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo

This 1970 release finds legendary percussion man Ray Barretto at the height of his powers, and with one his tightest, most kick-ass bands behind him. This LP is bursting with the heady energy of the early '70s NYC salsa movement; a time when the young music was seemingly being innovated with each new release, and the NYC melting pot vibe was pushing Latin musicians to incorporate funk, soul and jazz elements into the mix. While slightly lesser known than his classic Acid LP, Power finds Barretto mixing gritty, straight-ahead small combo salsa workouts like "Oye La Noticia", on which pianist Louie Cruz gets seriously down on the ivories, with the salsa-fied funk fusion and Anglo vocals on tracks like "Right On." The cut's cocky bassline and breaky beat has made this album a beathead favorite, along with the killer Latin jazz of the Willie Bobo influenced (to my ears, at least) "Power." Other standouts include "Y Dicen," and the sample-friendly lament "Se Que Volveras." An essential classic for salsa and Latin heads, and a good LP to test the waters if you're new to the scene.
- in-demand 1970 latin jazz / funk album from NYC-born producer, composer + conga player
- 180g black vinyl pressing
- 50th aniversary edition
- first time on vinyl since 1972
- all-analog remastered sound
- music label: Craft Recordings 2020
